The guides are happy to tell you all about the husky training and life (we asked a lot of questions) and are very kind and professional. The cherry on top was being able to cuddle the husky puppies and spend some time with them (cuteness overload). All in all,…”

The wait wasn't long and before we knew it, we were on the sleigh! The ride is short but a lot of fun! We got to pat and take pictures with these huskies too before we went to a lodge closeby. It was very cosy and had a fireplace where everyone could sit around. We were served cookies…”
